Serial Ports
Table 2.10 shows the physical interfaces of the SEL-3031. Several options are provided
for Port 1 physical interfaces, including EIA-232, EIA-485, and fiber.
Serial (EIA-232 and EIA-485)
Use the EIA-232 port for communications distances of
d
15.2 m (50 ft) in low-noise
environments. Use the optional EIA-485 Port 1 for communications of
d
1200 m
(3937 ft) maximum distance (to achieve this performance, ensure proper line
termination at the receiver).
If Port 1 is an EIA-485 connection, there are two types of connections that will work on
multidrop systems.
Table 2.11 shows the standard pinout of a recommended four-wire
EIA-485 connection. If your system only works on a two-wire EIA-485 connection,
then you will need to connect Pins 1 and 7 together and Pins 2 and 8 together.
Figure 2.6 shows how to wire this configuration.
